The Goal of Buddhism

.



[i.e. The goal of Buddhism is to become more and more aware of Reality as it is here & now, to learn from it; and to ultimately become fully aware of the inconceivable true nature & dynamic of our own mind, of all phenomena, of all actions, of all dharmas: which is inconceivable, but still pointed by concepts like the Ground / Union of the Two Truths about all dharmas (ex. about the three spheres, about apparent opposites, about the two truths themselves..).]

The quintessential teaching of the Buddha ~ Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
.
Awareness is the quintessential teaching of the Buddha - from the awareness of cool air as you breath in and then out, to the profound awareness of natural perfection. And with boundless compassion and courage, the sole purpose and activity of all the buddhas it is to ring the alarm bell that brings us to this awareness.
